Housing and Transportation Cost Burden key summary measure

Combining housing and transportation costs (H+T) provides a new way of looking at affordability. Housing and transportation represent the two largest expenditures for many working households. Housing and transportation costs are intrinsically linked – a lower priced home may be associated with a longer and more expensive commute; conversely, a shorter commute by transit may be associated with a more expensive home.
